Oh wow, where do I even start with this match? Okay, so RCB and MI, right? It was one of those nail-biters. RCB clinched it by 12 runs — not just another win, but a real scrappy one at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. “High-octane” doesn’t even cover it. RCB’s right in the thick of IPL 2025 with three wins out of four, like they’ve got this wild momentum swinging in their favor.
Put to bat first — kind of nerve-wracking, to be honest — RCB leaned on their tried-and-true guys. Kohli, man, the way he’s been playing! Smooth 67 runs like it’s just another day. And then there’s Patidar — the captain — with that snappy 64. They clicked like clockwork, getting their team to 221/5 in the 20 overs. Not too shabby, right?
Anyway, MI wasn’t just going to roll over. They came hard, swinging, but not without a mess of hiccups. A few early losses had them on shaky ground. But then Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya, they just switched gears. Those two had something going there. Big hits, smart runs. At one point, it looked like MI might just steal it, like a perfect heist in progress.
Then everything flipped. Seriously. Krunal Pandya — up against his own brother — just snatched the game right back for RCB with this insane final over. Three batters down in six balls. Unreal, honestly. The kind of thing that’s gonna stick with you.
So here we are, three wins in, and RCB fans are buzzing. Kohli and Patidar, bit of a dynamic duo vibe — and Krunal’s over? It’s got folks thinking, maybe, just maybe, this is RCB’s year. But who knows, IPL is a rollercoaster.
